UTEP Women Travel to Southern Miss for Tip off Thursday
UTEP, which is winners of seven straight and sits atop the Conference USA standings, will try to keep it rolling when it plays at Southern Miss at 6 p.m. MST Thursday. The game is third of four away from home for the Miners (17-2, 6-0 C-USA), who downed Houston, 87-43, to secure their biggest margin of victory in a league game in program history on Jan. 22. The Golden Eagles (6-13, 0-6 C-USA) posted a record of 6-7 in non-conference play but have fallen on hard times of late, having dropped their first six league contests. The game will be broadcast on 1150 AM in El Paso, and fans can also get live updates through Twitter (@UTEPWBB).
Adams On Cusp Of 300 Career Wins
Head coach Keitha Adams is one win shy of notching her 300th as a collegiate head coach. She has 172 victories with the Miners and claimed 127 previously at Independence Community College. She would become the fourth active head coach in C-USA to achieve the feat, joining Marshall's Royce Chadwick (557-291), Tulane's Lisa Stockton (415-205) & SMU's Rhonda Rompola (375-244).
Miners Receive Vote In Both Top-25 Polls
For the first time this season, UTEP picked up a vote in the top-25 of both the AP & ESPN/USA Coaches polls in the same week. The Miners had previously secured a pair of votes in the coaches poll on Dec. 19, 2011, which marked the earliest point in any season that they drew national attention.
Off & Running In League Play
The Miners are off to a 6-0 start in league play for just the second time in program history. The 2007-08 squad got off to a quick start in conference and never looked back en route to becoming the first women's school in Conference USA history to run the gauntlet to finish 16-0.
On The Road As Well
The Miners have surged to a school-record 6-1 start on the road, topping the prior standard at this juncture (5-2 in 2007-08). The season standard for top mark in hostile territory is 10-3, which came in that historic 2007-08 campaign.
Not To Mention Overall
With a record of 17-2, the Miners have equaled their best record through 19 games in school history (2007-08). That 2007-08 squad climbed to 27-2 before suffering its third loss of the season & finished with a school record of 28-4.
It's A Streak Thing
The Miners have two separate winning streaks of at least five games this year (10 & 7) to become the second team in program history to achieve the feat. The 1992-93 squad also did. (7 & 5 contests)
Pretty Select Company
UTEP is one of 10 teams nationally to be both undefeated in league play & have two or fewer total losses.
We Meet Again
UTEP leads the all-time series against Southern Miss, 5-3, but the Miners are 1-3 in games contested in Hattiesburg. The last meeting between the programs at USM occurred in the 2009-10 campaign when a 9-17, 4-9 C-USA Southern Miss squad downed a 14-11, 6-7 C-USA UTEP team, 74-63. The Miners emerged victorious in the only meeting between the programs last year, 77-49, in El Paso on Feb. 24, 2011.

An area restaurateur has pled guilty to tax evasion, federal officials said Thursday.
Konstantinos Votsis, owner of Rookies Neighborhood Sports Bar in Gates, deleted sales records from the sports bar's computer after learning a sales-tax audit of the establishment was slated, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Field said.
Data recovered from the sports bar's point of sale computer showed Votsis failed to report $986,660 in income the business took in over 2006 and 2008, avoiding $308,062 in federal taxes.
Votsis, 63, is slated to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Frank Geraci in September.
A plea agreement filed with the Rochester federal court June 5 lays out sentencing guidelines that would see Votsis serve a prison term of 18 months to 24 months followed by one to three years supervised release.
Terms of the deal also call for him to pay a fine of $4,000 to $40,000. Votsis has agreed to forfeit $250,000, the filing states.
The charge the tavern owner pled to in a single-count information carries a five-year maximum prison term and a maximum $616,124 fine. If Geraci agrees to a plea deal and Votsis violates its terms, he could end up serving more than the maximum sentence, the plea agreement states.
Votsis was separately targeted by federal prosecutors last year in a civil forfeiture action aiming to seize a building at 2235 Buffalo Road that houses Pixley's Family Restaurant in Gates and a private home at 15 Saddleback Trail in Chili.
In addition to the properties, federal officials seized $200,000 in cash in an April 2013 raid, the forfeiture complaint states.
The civil case remains open.
An attorney representing Votsis in both actions, Fairport lawyer Kevin Morabito, could not immediately be reached.

SAN MARCOS — A judge next month will consider a plea agreement from a Central Texas teenager whose two accomplices were fatally shot during a 2009 home invasion.
Prosecutors in Hays County say 19-year-old Frank Castro of Luling (LOO'-leeng) last month agreed to plead guilty to aggravated robbery and burglary of a habitation. He would serve five years in prison.
San Marcos police say Castro and three other armed youths tried to rob an alleged drug dealer.
Someone in the house opened fire, killing 16-year-olds Rudy Tinoco and John Alvarez II. Castro wasn't hurt. The other youth was wounded and still faces charges.
Castro was later charged with capital murder, being held responsible for the deaths because he was involved in committing the crime.
The resident wasn't charged.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — It had all the hallmarks of a good concert. The room throbbed with hip-hop and R&B beats, the strutting emcees held the microphones right up against their lips and the performers were under the spotlights, furiously working their instruments on stage.
Cutting hair.
On most nights, the stage at Fête on Dike Street in Olneyville is home to musicians, and the floor to dancing. But Sunday it was host to the "Worldstar Barber Battle 2014." Dozens of barbers from throughout New England and vendors from across the country converged on the nightclub to celebrate haircutting, as well as socialize and maybe buy some product.
As the owner of Flawless Cutz, in Fall River, Mark Silvera is usually cutting hair, but on Sunday he was brandishing a clipboard instead of shears. He and his partners in Worldstarbarber.com sponsored the event as a way to make some money and raise their joint venture's profile as a barbershop supplier and marketer.
Silvera said social media has become essential to anyone serious about getting into the barber business. Events like Sunday's are promoted almost exclusively via online social networks.
Dale Dowdie, a software developer and operator of BARBinc.com., a news site for the barber business, said events like the one at Fête are happening all over the country. Some draw thousands of visitors and hundreds of vendors.
It's a subculture where a haircut is a statement — one that can be made immediately via the Internet, Dowdie said. People will take a picture of their new cut and post it, and probably get compliments back, before they've even left the barber chair. And so will the barber.
"They don't even have an email address," said Dowdie. "They have Instagram. It's a constant conversation."
The crowd that packed Fête backed him up. All along the upper level, 20-somethings leaned on the railing, most either holding up their smartphones to get video or typing a post, their hands glowing blue from the light of their phone's screen.
In the crowd below, contingents from different barber shops in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, some with 10 or more, were dressed in the same T-shirts, like sports teams taking the field.
The barbers were competing into the night at cuts like the fastest fade, low fade/beard, faux hawk, and freestyle design.
But there was commerce as well as competition. One of the vendors was Felicia Febo, better known in the business as Lici Lady Barber, from Lakewood, Colo. She was promoting Elegance USA hair product as well as serving as a judge.
Her specialty is custom designs; trimming the customer's hair short and then cutting a pattern into it. She's done letters, whorls, Denver Broncos horsehead logos and faces from photographs.
Lici, 30, said it's a male-dominated field, and only in the past year or so has she sensed that she's been accepted.
"You have to have a tough skin," she said. "You have to be aggressive. It's been seven years, and they're seeing how hard my grind is," meaning how hard she works.
She added, in a deadly serious tone: "And I don't giggle."
One of the competitors was Pedro Torres of Jordan's New Style Barber Shop in Wakefield, fresh off a first-place finish in a Boston barber battle last month.
"I'm the best barber in South County, hands down," he said. And the best barber in South County doesn't trust his hair to anyone else. Torres said he cuts his own hair, with the help of three mirrors.

Staples Center
Attendance: 14,964
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Tony Parker led a balanced scoring attack with 19 points and nine assists, leading the San Antonio Spurs to their 17th straight victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, 97-88, at Staples Center.
Richard Jefferson added 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting for the Spurs, who have started their season with wins in two of their first three games. Rookie Gary Neal scored a career-high 16 points in 20 minutes, while mainstays Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili provided 14 points apiece in the victory.
"For so many years we had so many veterans," Parker said. "I think it is time for us to rebuild, and I think we have great young guys. We have to throw them into the fire. (Head coach Gregg Popovich) threw me and Manu out there, and I think it is time that we have to do the same thing (with our young guys)."
Eric Gordon had 23 points and a career-high 11 assists for the Clippers, who last beat the Spurs on March 7, 2006. Chris Kaman added 18 points and eight rebounds, while Blake Griffin had 17 with eight boards in defeat.
Ryan Gomes contributed 14 points for Los Angeles, which is 0-4 to start the season.
"If we can focus on defense, that will lead to good offense," Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We did that in the first half. In the second half, we were stagnant with not enough movement."
After the teams played to a 26-26 tie in the first quarter, San Antonio began the second quarter on an 8-0 burst. Neal had five of the points, as the Spurs held Los Angeles scoreless for nearly four minutes.
"I'm feeling pretty good about my game," Neal said. "I got a lot of shots (during) practice, and that gives me confidence to get my jump shot feeling good. If I can keep that up, I should be able to consistently make shots."
The Clips climbed back to within one with an answering 7-0 run, but a pair of Parker free throws with three minutes until halftime gave the Spurs a 47-40 advantage.
It was 50-44 at halftime.
Consecutive baskets by Duncan early in the third pushed San Antonio's lead to 58-48, and the Spurs were able to stay an arms' length away from the Clippers throughout the quarter. Heading into the fourth, the visitors led, 75-65.
Tiago Splitter's dunk and Neal's three-pointer to start the final quarter made it a 15-point contest, and Los Angeles didn't cut their deficit into single- digits again until a late three-pointer by Rasual Butler with under 30 seconds to play.

Ask Slashdot: Practical Alternatives To Systemd?
Re:"With SysV init, unless I turned on some weird (533 comments)
Bullshit. Sometimes you need to restart servers, and occasionally there's an issue during regular use that will require a restart to clear out. I would argue that servers would have a greater need than most of having rapid boot times to ensure that any unexpected downtime is as short as possible. But I guess I'm the lone voice of reason here.

im having problems just connecting to autolog, my ps3 will connect for less than a minute and then it just disconnects and it is soooo annoying. | |
Glad to know its not just me. It's been driving me crazy | |
After I typed in my online pass yesterday, I've had no problems connecting. Could be a coincidence though, since Autolog has acted up before on launch | |
i dont even play muiltiplayer but i do know that every now and again ill get a message pop up on screen saying ive been disconnected from xbox live, whilst playing this game. and only this game. --- GT : DeadJericho / PSN : Focalpoint / Correct terminology is 'Could NOT care less'. Learn English! | |
Yep, have been having issues connecting to autolog servers past 2-3 days now. It was good for a couple days after release, but it's been acting glitchy lately. A fix is definitely needed and should come along soon. |

How to always be seen as a professional
Acting professionally is possibly one of the greatest job skills a recent college graduate should work on cultivating. Having just come out of school, maintaining a professional appearance in public can be a different experience, one that does not necessarily come naturally. Especially at a small school like Luther, where a majority of the students know each other in some way, it is almost impossible to work on the professionalism you must display in a work environment in order to succeed. Continue reading for some tips on how to increase your professional appearance:
1. Dress the Part
Whether it is an interview, meeting, first day on the job, or a school conference out of town, make sure to always wear business clothes. Cultivating a professional attitude begins with looking professional. No one will take you seriously as a potential employee if you are wearing ragged jeans and an old T-shirt. Click here to learn how to learn more about dressing for success.
2. Honesty is a Virtue
Lying is a sure way to get your professional reputation tarnished. Even small things can backfire- if someone finds out that you fibbed about what you did last weekend, it ruins your credibility and calls into question your character. If you make a mistake, own up to it. If you sat at home last night and watched movies, don't tell your boss you went out for drinks with a client. Simple, but worth the honesty.
3. Don't be Late!
Lateness is often cited as one of employers' biggest problems with workers. Not only does being late affect your co-workers and their ability to do their job, but it also makes you look disorganized and sloppy. Obviously it is impossible to always be on time. Continual tardiness, however, is a quick way to get on your employer's bad side, and maybe miss out on some great career opportunities down the line. Professionalism means being on time and always ready to work.
4. Have Tasteful Humor
In the workplace, sometimes jokes that your friends would think are hilarious turn out to be offensive to at least one of your co-workers. Make sure that your jokes and comments avoid topics such as race, gender, appearance, religion, nationality, or other personal characteristics. Even if you are good friends with the person, that does not meant that someone else will not get offended. Work is not a place to test people's threshold or see what kind of humor your colleagues enjoy. Keep it tasteful and classy- if you offend someone, it becomes hard to escape the stigma of "that person who made fun of someone" and offended people.
5. Be Polite
Manners are an important aspect of professionalism. How you act around others and treat your equals tells your employer a lot about who you are as a person. Holding doors open for people signifies respect, and having good manners shows that you are comfortable with the position you have in life. Acting superior or arguing with a co-worker makes you seem as though you need to pull someone down in order to push yourself up in other people's eyes. Showing respect to those around you and being polite to those you encounter give you not only a good first impression, but increase your likeability and professionalism.
6. Know when to Keep Quiet
This is true throughout life, but is very important when college students are entering the workforce. Nothing can be more damaging to a new employee than if he or she engages in office gossip and drama. Talking about your co-worker, boss, friend, or customer behind their back shows immaturity and insecurity. There will ultimately be workplace drama, but try and stay above it. Don't spread stories at work, keep politics and religion at home, and keep personal problems to a minimum. You are there to work, not to have a gossip hour, and what goes around comes around. When something is told in confidence, one of the worst things you can do for your professional reputation is to spread it around. Whether it is told to you by your boss and relates to work, or told by your co-worker about your best friend, discretion is key. Talking can be fun, but it comes back around.
Those are just a few of the things to remember when entering a new job or professional setting. These tips apply not only for jobs but internships, interviews, or anywhere that you could potentially further your professional career. And if you have an opportunity to further your career, you ultimately have the opportunity to create a setback in your professional development. Be cognizant of where you are and who you are with, and remember these tips!

A new report claims that Apple's 7.85-inch iPad Mini will come in 16 different memory and wireless configurations.
This information comes from MobileGeeks (website is in German), which allegedly received the screen shot from the internal inventory system of Media Market, Europe's largest electronics retailer.
The screenshot would suggest that the iPad Mini will start from €249 (approximately $320) for a WiFi-only 8GB model, with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB WiFi models costing €349 ($450), €449 ($580) and €549 ($710) respectively.
Contrary to earlier reports, cellular models will also be available from 16GB up to 64GB, with the latter selling for around $840 (much likely with 4G LTE). The inventory list also reveals the tablet will be available in black and white across all configurations.
Although the sheet doesn't confirm it, it is logical to think that these prices will absorb the 19% value-added-tax (VAT) charged in Europe.
These prices would certainly frighten some of Apple's rivals, not least Microsoft which is expected to launch its Surface tablet with Windows RT for around $300. Meanwhile, the more expensive versions of the Mini could cause concerns for 'premium' Android tablet vendors like Samsung and Asus.
In recent weeks, the most believable iPad Mini rumors would have us believe that the tablet will have a 7.85-inch iPad 2 display (1024 x 768 resolution), with the model reportedly set to debut at a launch event on October 23.
Asian OEM vendors also claim that Apple will sell 10 million units in Q4, which is roughly twice what Amazon is said to have ordered for the new Kindle Fire.

'Paco' Under Scrutiny
The cocaine base paste market in the Southern Cone
Based on two studies carried out in the cities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, this report examines the origin, characteristics and impact of the explosive increase in cocaine base paste in urban areas.
Based on two studies carried out in the cities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, this report examines the origin, characteristics and impact of the explosive increase in cocaine base paste in urban areas. It also highlights the variety of products consumed in these cities and the substance known as crack that is consumed in Brazilian cities. The Brazilian experience with this consumption could serve as an example and a lesson for the Southern Cone.
The question of whether there is a cause-and effect relationship between the explosive increase in consumption of paco in Buenos Aires and Montevideo and a transformation in the structure of drug (cocaine) trafficking in Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil is relevant to an evaluation of the success of failure of policies implemented in the Andean Region to stem the supply of cocaine. It is worth asking if we are again witnessing the consequences of a 'balloon effect' that may be transforming, expanding and shifting cocaine hydrochloride manufacturing from the Andean Region to the southern part of the continent, with a resulting impact on the consumer market.
In recent years, dozens of laboratories where cocaine hydrochloride was apparently manufactured have been found in Argentina — the first time such discoveries have been made. In the first half of 2006 alone, Argentine authorities seized as much cocaine as they had confiscated in the entire previous year. Until then, the country had not played a role in the manufacturing of cocaine; it had been limited to a significant role in the transit of the drug towards markets in Europe and the United States. This new trend could be related to the fact that both Argentina and Brazil have a chemical industry capable of producing the inputs necessary for manufacturing cocaine, as well as the difficulties that the traditional cocaine-producing countries have encountered in gaining access to chemical precursors.

Spin-up: The Spin-up system is available in AEG, Gas and Spring operated models. The basic theory is to put backspin on the BB. When the BB is fired there is resistance on the upper side of the BB creating a backspin. This offsets the effect of gravity, wind power and air resistance and pushes the BB to travel a longer distance.

Tuesday, December 17, 2013
DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire football team has been bucking the odds for quite some time now.
Led by quarterback Sean Goldrich, the Wildcats finished well the last two weeks in wins over No. 5 seed Maine and No. 4 Southeastern Louisiana.
"We didn't really make a lot of adjustments after that drive," said senior tackle Sean McCann. "We just regrouped."
They were impressive in Saturday's 48-14 quarterfinal victory over Coastal Carolina in which they bolted out to a 24-0 lead and finished with 621 total yards. |

Venice, Italy
(Thursday, June 13)
At St. Mark's Basilica, guests are asked to cover legs and arms. Shorts, short skirts and sleeveless or tank tops are not allowed.
Breakfast on board.
Whether it is your first time or fifteenth in Venice, it is easy to get lost amid the labyrinth of bridges, footpaths and waterways, but save that pleasure for later. On this walking excursion, a knowledgeable guide will navigate the city for you, uncovering its treasures as he or she shares its tales. Travel by boat down the beautiful Guidecca Canal to the heart of Venice, St Mark�s Square, and disembark at the bustling Riva degli Schiavoni. Stand in the regally proportioned square so famous for its pigeons and pealing bell towers. Sights here include the Campanile and the 15th century clock tower where two huge bronze statues strike the hour. Walk to St Mark�s Basilica, a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture, and admire its fa�ade mosaics and golden dome, both superbly restored to their original grandeur. Next, enjoy a guided excursion of the Doge�s Palace, a 14th-century Gothic masterpiece with pink marble exterior and lacy stone arches. For nearly a thousand years, this was the seat of Venetian government and the home of the Doges. Admire the art-filled apartments and salons. In the Great Council Hall, Paradise by Domenico and Jacopo Tintoretto fills an entire wall, a witness to centuries of trials and intrigues. See the lagoon through the grillwork of the Bridge of Sighs, supposedly named for the convicts who crossed from court to prison, on a walk across to the old prison cells where Casanova once languished. After our trip to the Doge�s Palace, you�ll have free time to explore the shops and cafes around St Mark�s Square, where necklaces of Venetian glass make a treasured souvenir.
Road Scholar lunch at a local restaurant.
Free time to explore Venice on your own.
Dinner on board.
If there is one memory to take home with you, it is the sight of St. Mark's Basilica, the cathedral of Venice, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity the see this remarkable building at its very best. This evening, St. Mark's will be reserved for Voyages to Antiquity guests who will be treated to a private visit and the breathtaking sight of the famous mosaics illuminated in a spectacular light show. The church was built in 828 as a tomb for Saint Mark, whose body was spirited out of Alexandria hidden in a casket of pork, a bit of intrigue you can see memorialized in the mosaics above the church door. After a 976 fire, the church was rebuilt and served as the Doge's private chapel. As such, it was a place of immense wealth and power that it became known as the Golden Church, or Chiesa d'Oro. For example, the Four Horses of St. Mark in front are replicas of the Roman sculptures inside, brought back by the Venetians after the sacking of Constantinople. These horses originally had giant rubies in their eye sockets. The interior reinforces the jewel-encrusted Byzantine effect with its galleries high above the naves, massive chandeliers and over 40,000 square feet of mosaics. Works by Tintoretto, Bellini and Mantegna - to mention a few - adorn the walls. The Treasury brims with wealth from centuries of conquest. A visit here is an unforgettable glimpse into the heights reached by La Serenissima, as The Most Serene Republic of Venice was called.

Day 5:
Zadar, Croatia / Kornati Islands
(Saturday, June 15)
Breakfast on board.
The ship winds its way through the breathtaking beauty of the Kornati Islands. This group of 89 stone islands, islets and reefs in the southern part of the Zadar archipelago has been inhabited since Neolithic times. The Romans used the islands as a resort and built many villas with fishponds. Later, they were a base for Venetian sea power. The Kornati were declared a National Park in 1980 and the best way to experience their mysterious beauty, spectacular chalk cliffs and clear blue waters is from the sea. See why George Bernard Shaw, wrote �God desired to crown his work and thus created the Kornati Islands� as we wind through these breathtaking islands.
Lunch on board.
In 1409, King Ladislaus of Hungary sold his Dalmatian islands and cities, Zadar among them, to Venice for 100,000 ducats. This town has changed hands frequently since the first Neolithic settlement: the 9th-century BC Liburni were followed in the 4th century BC by Greeks and in the 1st century BC by the Romans, who called the area Zadara. As a result of so many rulers, Zadar has a wealth of monuments contained within the walls of its magnificent Old Town. We will visit the 1st century Roman Forum, now the site of several of Zadar's most beautiful churches. Admire the Cathedral of St Anastasia, the largest church in Croatia and a superb example of Romanesque architecture with two rose windows. This basilica was constructed in the 12th and 13th centuries, but its origins as a shrine go back centuries earlier. Inside, a stone sarcophagus contains the remains of St Anastasia of Syrmia, martyred during Diocletian�s persecution. The walk takes you past the 9th-century Church of St Donatus, a Byzantine masterpiece with three naves that incorporate fragments of the town's original Roman Forum. Admire the Church of St Mary, where architectural elements range from a 12th-century bell tower built by the Hungarian-Croatian King Koloman to a beautiful 16th-century Renaissance fa�ade. The convent next door is home to the Museum of Sacred Art, recently opened to the public, a showcase of Zadar's sacred treasures, including sculptures, paintings and such relics as the arm of St Isidore encased in a 12th-century casket.

Day 6:
Split, Croatia / Trogir
(Sunday, June 16)
Breakfast on board.
When Emperor Diocletian shook up the Roman Empire by abdicating in 305AD, he had his retirement residence ready: a lavish palace he had just built in Salona, now Split, in his native Dalmatia. Admire this amazing palace complex that, when completed, held three temples, a massive mausoleum, and could accommodate 9,000 people. For an intimate perspective on how life was organized, this excursion includes a walk through the palace cellars. The city of Split grew inside and around this palace, with the population retreating behind its walls when under attack, and then spilling out beyond them in times of peace. Today the Palace of Diocletian is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but don�t expect a deserted ruin. Discover instead a vibrant warren of museums, galleries, shops and restaurants mingled with medieval fortifications, pre-Romanesque churches and Gothic chapels. Renaissance palaces testify to a time when Split was a key port of the Venetian Republic. The excursion visits Diocletian�s massive octagonal mausoleum, converted into a cathedral in the 7th century and named after a Christian martyred during that emperor�s persecutions. You�ll also excursion the city museum where 15th-century furnishings recapture aristocratic life in that period. Other sights include the palace�s monumental Golden and Silver Gates and the columned Peristyle Square. Following the excursion, there will be free time to visit the colorful local market or explore Split on your own.
Lunch on board or on your own at a local restaurant.
Free time. This afternoon you may choose to continue to explore Split on your own, or visit the delightful island of Trogir (additional cost, bookable on board).

Meals Included:

Day 7:
The Islands of Korcula and Hvar
(Monday, June 17)
Breakfast on board.
From pirates to princes, Korcula has had many masters, all seeking to use this island to ease their passage along the Adriatic. The Greeks who first colonized the island in the 6th century called it �Black Corfu� because of the thick forests. Mythology provides an earlier 12th-century BC founder, the Trojan hero, Antenor. Much of Korcula's architecture dates from the 15th and 16th centuries when the island was part of the Republic of Venice. This morning's walk takes us from the ship to Old Town with its Venetian towers, 14thcentury walls and fishbone layout, designed to take advantage of refreshing winds. Visit the impressive Cathedral of St Mark, which took over a century to erect, perched overlooking the town. Local stone masters left examples of their art in such details as the 15th-century lion portal, the island's boat wrights gave the main aisle the feel of a ship's interior and a splendid Tintoretto presides behind the altar. The excursion also visits the 14th-century Bishop's Palace, where the art collection includes works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Tiepolo. Next, at the 16th-century Gabrielli Palace, view the City Museum's array of Greek and Roman artifacts, as well as objects detailing the island's shipping history. Korcula lays claim to being the birthplace of Marco Polo in 1254, and our walk takes us by his family home. Some 22 centuries ago, when the island was a favorite resort for the Greeks, the writer Athenaios praised the local wine, so before sailing, why not try a sip of the island's crisp white wine at a nearby cafe?
Lunch on board.
At lunchtime, Aegean Odyssey departs for an afternoon cruise past the island of Hvar. Attend a late afternoon talk by your Road Scholar Group Leader.
Dinner on board.
Arrive in Dubrovnik in the early evening. You are free to stroll around the charming old town.

Day 8:
Dubrovnik, Croatia
(Tuesday, June 18)
Breakfast on board.
Lord Byron called this majestic walled city �the pearl of the Adriatic,� and it is easy to see why. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is held to be the best-preserved walled city in the Mediterranean with a seafront setting and dramatic mountain backdrop. The city skyline is a medley of bell towers, copper domes and massive 10th-century walls. Dubrovnik was founded in the 7th century AD and was a powerful independent republic from 1358 to 1808, when Napoleon conquered the city. Today the city is an inspiration in self-resurrection. Despite a destructive earthquake in 1667, Dubrovnik has managed to preserve its beautiful Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains. This morning�s walking excursion of the Old Town takes you along the city�s main street, the Stradun or Placa, once a sea channel connecting two ancient settlements. Visit the Dominican Monastery, home to a beautiful 15th-century Gothic cloister and the city�s finest collection of Renaissance paintings. Next, the Franciscan Monastery is home to Europe�s oldest pharmacy, founded in 1318 and still in existence. Your walk continues past such landmarks as the Sponza Palace with its elaborate stone exterior, the Baroque Church of St Blaise and Onofriou�s Fountain. Admire the Cathedral of Our Lady, originally built in the 12th century, destroyed in the 1667 earthquake and triumphantly rebuilt. View Titian�s Assumption over the main altar and, in the Treasury, one of Europe�s finest collections of gold and silver, including the bejeweled skull of St Blaise. Following the excursion there will be free time to explore the nooks and crannies of the Old Town.
Lunch on board.
This afternoon the ship cruises through one of the finest natural harbors in Europe. Kotor Bay is sometimes referred to as Europe's southernmost fjord, but the winding bay is actually a submarine river canyon. At one time Kotor Bay was rival to Venice and Dubrovnik for sea power. Stretching between Croatia and Montenegro, the bay offers picturesque vistas of fortified towns and mountains dotted with castles.

Day 9:
Corfu, Greece
(Wednesday, June 19)
The excursions to Corfu includes medium to heavy walking on cobblestone or slippery surfaces and some stair climbing.
Breakfast on board.
You can thank Venice for the thickly wooded headland of Corfu. During the Republic's four centuries of rule on this Ionian island (from 1386 to 1797), it was decreed that an olive tree be planted at each birth and a cypress at each death. Early admirers included the Greek poet, Homer, who sang the island's praises. Octavian brought his fleet to the island's harbor before the battle at Actium. Today's sightseeing starts with a drive to Corfu Town and a visit to the Old Fortress rising majestically from a large cliff and surrounded by a fairytale moat that has its sinister side as the last resort of the lovelorn. Built on the remains of a Byzantine castle, the fort was completed over four centuries, first by the Venetians who gave it the moat and then by the British who erected the fort's church of St George. The fort proved a formidable bulwark against the Turks. From the fort, enjoy a stroll along the Venetian-built Esplanade past the colonnade of the Liston Caf�, built during French rule. The caf� takes is name from a time when the promenade was limited to Venetian nobility that appeared on a list in the Libro d'Oro (Golden Book). Today this path provides an excellent view of the town's cricket pitch, a legacy from British rule, and the start of our walking excursion. Discover Old Town's narrow stepped streets, Georgian mansions and red-domed Agios Spyridon church, built in 1589, containing the remains of Corfu's patron saint.
Lunch on board or explore local fare on your own.
In the afternoon, you are free to continue enjoying Corfu Town. A drink at the Liston caf� is a must.

Preveza, Greece
(Thursday, June 20)
Breakfast on board.
After an early morning arrival in Preveza, depart for Arta to discover this former Byzantine capital and its glorious 13th and 14th-century churches. After the fall of Constantinople to the Crusaders in 1204, Arta was established as the Byzantine despotate of Epirus. The city is built on the foundations of an ancient city called Ambrakia and was once the capital of King Pyrrhus (318BC-272BC), the legendary general. From the ship, a scenic one hour drive winds through the lovely countryside of northwest Greece. Arriving in Arta we drive by the famous bridge over the Arachthos River, haunted by a mythical story of an engineer who sacrificed his wife for the sake of a successful bridge by building her into it. The bridge was completed in 1612, but rests on the foundations of an earlier bridge that dates to classical times. In 1881 the borders of Greece and Turkey met in the center of Arta's bridge. Arta is dominated by a towering medieval fortress, but its pride are its Byzantine churches, and of these, Panagia Paregoretissa (Mother of the Swiftly Consoling) is the most striking. The church was built in the 13th century by a husband-and-wife team, and features an impressive array of architectural innovations. The central cupola is considered unique in the world of ecclesiastical architecture.
Lunch on board.
In the afternoon, the ship will cruise the delightful Ionian islands on the way to Ithaca.
Dinner on board.
Spend the evening ashore in the attractive seaside town of Vathy, Ithaca. Late departure for Katakolon.

Katakolon, Greece / Olympia
(Friday, June 21)
The excursion to Olympia includes heavy walking for one or more hours over uneven terrain, with multiple uphill segments.
Breakfast on board.
The small fishing village of Katakolon is approximately an hour from the mystical site of Ancient Olympia, sacred ground to the people of the Peloponnese Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC. Olympia is most familiar as the site where the first Olympic Games were held in 776BC in honor of Olympian Zeus. The origin of the word Olympic comes from the ancient Greek Olympiad � meaning every four years. The setting could not be more idyllic: prominently located in the middle of a fertile valley with the rivers of Alfeios and Kladhios flowing past. The site was a religious sanctuary even before the Stadium was built and the games took place in the sacred area called Altis. The most imposing monument in the area was the outstanding Temple of Zeus housing the gold-and-ivory statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Temple of Hera, the Prytaneion, and the Philippeion were also monuments standing in the sacred grove. The famous Stadium, the largest of its day with a capacity of 45,000 spectators, was entered through a long, tunnel-like passage, constructed in Roman times. The stadium was restored in 2004 for the historic return of the modern Olympics to Athens. After your exploration of the famous grounds, visit the archaeological museum which is a short 5-minute walk from the site. Among the great finds of the area that are displayed are the Head of Hera and ornaments from the Temple of Zeus, the famous statue of Hermes created by Praxiteles and the helmet of Miltiades, the Athenian general during Athens' 'Golden Age'. You will make a brief stop in the modern village of Olympia before returning to the ship.

Nauplia, Greece
(Saturday, June 22)
There is moderate to heavy walking over uneven surfaces in Mycenae and Epidaurus, and moderate walking in Nauplia unless you choose to climb the fortress.
Breakfast on board.
Tales of Agamemnon and the time of Homer�s heroes take center stage today on this visit to Mycenae, one of the greatest cities of the highly-developed Mycenaean civilization. This culture dominated the eastern Mediterranean from the 16th to 13th century BC and laid the foundation for classical Greece. From the picturesque port of Nauplia, a scenic 45-minute drive across the Argolid Plain takes us to the imposing city of warrior merchants that Homer described as �rich in gold�. The citadel that stands guard over the city is built high above two rock-strewn ravines, and legend holds that it was erected with the aid of the Cyclops. Enter Mycenae on foot through the Lion Gate, Europe�s oldest piece of monumental statuary: it was here that the victorious, but battle-weary Agamemnon, was greeted by his wife, Klytemnestra, on his return from the long war with Troy, only to be murdered by her lover. Inside the gates, explore the Royal Palace, view the shaft graves and relive the tragic stories at an archaeological briefing in the Treasury of Atreus, also known as the Tomb of Agamemnon.
Road Scholar lunch at a local restaurant.
In the afternoon we continue to Epidaurus via the charming and elegant town of Nauplia and its excellent Archaeological Museum, housed in the impressive former Venetian arsenal. Epidaurus was sacred to Asclepios, the god of medicine, and is the site of the best preserved of all ancient Greek theaters.
